Pa could be such a great state. Beautiful forests and the Appalachian foothills...too bad it is how it is now though. Cant even leave a car unlocked in my small town anymore lol.
I need a time machine now! My 10 year old self would have been SHOCKED that you can just bend the cone of the bottle inwards. I used to cut it off and flip it around! Great video!
Hey outdoors! Love the content and wanted to just say I grew up without a dad and any sort of outdoorsy activity like fishing or hunting although animals and the outdoors have always been my passion I have never had the access. After 4(.5 changed majors😅) years of college I graduated with a rec and parks degree and landed my first state park job. I have been very nervous to live up to expectations and I just want to let you know I shared a couple things I’ve learned from your channel in my interview and with new coworkers and they think I’m some sort of outdoor guru! Love and appreciate the work your doing as some young boys/men like myself never had the opportunity to learn these things- bless up!
I was always told that you cut it around 3/4 of the bottle and just invert it that way but just cutting off the top is a very intelligent way to just have more room although I can’t imagine this working for the harder bottles for example Mountain Dew bottles so if you ever stumble upon one of those you can just cut it 3/4 of the bottle and do the same thing but thank you for this knowledge😊
Oooo, I just had memories flooding me. As I child me and my cousin would do that when visiting my grandparents farm. And then feed the minnows to chickens. They loved it. Also, from time to time we would catch crayfish . Except we used half-liter mason jars, put a fabric over the top, make a hole in the fabric, and tie the fabric with a string around the jars neck. Thank you for reminding me, I had this memory completely erased.
Wow!!! I wondered how to catch them as a kid. Just never invested time into learning! I am so glad I found this today! I won't forget this! Super cool!
Dude thanks, it's a cheap and effective way to get a few fish, fishing aint about how fast you can catch every single time , unless you in a tournament But as a hobby, take your time enjoy the outdoors and enjoy the peace and quiet
When I was a kid me and a friend caught minnows in a creek and yard them as bait for crayfish. When i got older I realised that where i fished was a protected salmon stream and what i caught were salmon fry. Oh well...
Don't use a fortune that has the message: "Everything is either bullshit or watered down, always sea it for what it is" because the fishes will read it and will not fall for the trap
Not gonna lie, minnow soup is pretty good if you know how to cook em up. Stew it for an hour or two, or make it in the pressure cooker, and the bones dissolve so it's like eating sardines/anchovies, throw in some spices and whatever veggies you got lying around, and you can feed yourself for nearly free cause you don't need a license or a limit to catch baitfish. Grew up rural poor, had a cheap castnet and we'd make a big pot of minnow stew whenever we were broke in the summertime.
I used to do this as a kid and I still do this to this day jist mot to catch bait I use it to catch big fish, I creek and river fish a lot so fish move but if u catch there attention with something like a bottle or a jug that’s filled 25% of the way with just minnows, it would catch there attention, they will wait until one comes out (witch never happens) so all u do and drop a drop shot rig right infront of the bottle and boom in a matter of milliseconds that fish that’s been waiting will crush whatever u toss in the water, I’ve caught 6-7-8 pound smallies doing this, I caught a 10 pound rainbow, I’m telling you right now, it’s one of if not the easiest way to draw fish in and there nothing illegal bc u are using native baitfish that’s allowed to be used as bait😂but I’m doing it even better and that the minnows don’t die and can be released again to feed other fish and or grow up to spawn more so it’s a win win tbh
I've literally wondered if something like that would work before, in fact, if that exact thing but with any bait would work. It's really cool to actually see it in action
For me, in a spot like that, a simple net would give more than enough. But if it were in an area where the minnows are much better hidden, this is a really good idea
This device is definitely cool and ingenious!But I just can’t see myself gutting and cleaning those little fish-it would take hours just to make enough for a decent-size sandwich!
Use worms or crickets instead, since a lot of species of worms are invasive, and crickets eat crops. I didn't know this until I got a couple as pets, but minnows are smart. They're as social and friendly towards humans as puppies, and have distinct personalities. Besides, they eat mosquitoe larva. Our rivers and streams are already being overfished. Nothing against fishing for what you're going to eat, but if you have an alternative for bait, please use it where you can.
When i was a kid, id catch em with a bucket. Bucket had small holes and id put a rock into the bucket to make it sink. A few would go in out of curiosity and id pull the bucket up. I had a fun childhood. 😊
Used to do this as a kid. And also take a 2 l and cut the top, inverted and then poke holes and tie the inverted top back to the bottle with string. And then tie the string to the top of the bottle through another hole so when you toss it out and drag it back in it doesn't come apart or dump out or allow any to swim away etc
I used to work at PF Chang’s, times were tough and I would eat fortune cookie cereal all the time, add a little whip cream and chocolate syrup 😘👌. It’s good, you should try it. My Main diet was egg drop soup mixed with rice, and fortune cookies for dessert. Just seeing 🥠 brought back some memories.
I’ve made these traps before usually with 2 liters and cut off and Invert the top portion just about the label and make holes around the top edge and tie through the holes making sure that it can be undone to make removing your catch easier they also work well for crawfish
My cousin and I used to do this, we would use litter, usually 2 liter soda bottles and we would set the traps with bread or cream corn. We'd usually always cat h minnows, sometime a crayfish as well
I got a recent fortune cookie that stated "all things are hard before the become ez". To which I immediately did the mature thing, giggled and blurted out "that's what she said!"
in lebanon people do this with a kind of fish called hmatrees but its done with a betal cage shaped like this bottle, we put pita bread or purple algae in it as bait
Minnow activity is high.
😂
Remember, reloading your bottle trap is always faster than switching to a new one
* minnow population / presence is high.
* first rule of fishing: fish where the fish are.
😁
what is it
@@matheuscarvalhais954 "Remember: No rushing."
i was gonna ask how ya prep minnow to eat but realized the caption for bait. was thinking of sardines
Eh fuck it they just crunchy sardines
They do not clean sardines. They have all of their little gut business in them. And small fish it's really not bad
99% of sardines are not cleaned, deboned or descaled. They cook them well enough to sanitize everything. If I had to eat these minnows I would just boil them very well.
@travman9007 It'd be like a fish soup. Throw in some salt and wild greens.
Prepping minnows to be eaten is easy. Just apply liberal amounts of hook and let steep in nearest body of water.
Any thick paste made from flour or meal will work. When I was a kid growing up on a lake, we had an old framed window screen with center and most of the surrounding area pushed in to form a depression.

Minnow activity over time confirmed high 👍
My cousin told me about this kind of trap and I thought he was fibbing. Interesting to hear that it actually works!
@@theusher2893 --- It works like a charm....
Not to insult this awesome intelligent man, but where exactly do you see grit in this video?? It’s not exactly a demanding task…
Absolutely LOVE channels that show their traps actually working. Too many show you how to make a "trap" and then just cut the video.
Money can't buy happiness, but using the fortune cookie the statement came in to catch minnows in an old waterbottle in the middle of a creek for fish bait for future fishing, can.
Absolutely 👍
It takes money to buy the cookie and the bottle tho.

I usually just put some bread on a fishing line/hook and then lead them towards my buddy who scoops them up in a bucket...this seems easier tho.
This is for loners 😅❤
@@ca8547 I definitely should adapt it asap then lol
@@IamJdTrent probably should make a bigger trap
You miss the video where he turned his buddy into lots of protein.
trapping is generally easier than hunting/fishing anyway. set it and forget it for a while, that's ingenuity at work!
Good n cheap way to get bait n in a crappy situation you could eat those things I do believe
Eat baby trout? Of course!
@@michaelmanning7954those are black nose daces nnnnnnot trout fry.

I DEFINITELY will be trying this next time I go fishing! Thank you for the tip bro, much love! 😁👊🔥🤟
So cool.
I wish RUclips had recommended stuff like this sooner, gotta try it all.
I learn so much from your videos, thanks for all the great tips!

"money can't buy happiness" - But it can buy fortune cookies to catch minnows. Lots of happiness
One of the most factual fortune cookie ever! 🥠🗿
All with just one fortune cookie, insane.
lmao
Youve blown my mind with this. 10 year old me is screaming. Subbed
Wow!!! I wondered how to catch them as a kid. Just never invested time into learning! I am so glad I found this today! I won't forget this! Super cool!
He reminds me of Bear Grylls even though that was just a staged show, that was my favourite one, childhood memories man.
Outstanding "👍
Dude thanks, it's a cheap and effective way to get a few fish, fishing aint about how fast you can catch every single time , unless you in a tournament

I swear you teach me something new everyday, thank you mate👍
Bro you are the man love your hacks and the fact your not the coolest guy you know! Great channel brother
Don't use a fortune that has the message: "Everything is either bullshit or watered down, always sea it for what it is" because the fishes will read it and will not fall for the trap
This is genius!
Love your channel, brother. I've learned a lot of useful stuff from you. Thanks for sharing.
- I love how it said, "money can't buy happiness" but *technically it bought minnows* ! 😂
Your fortune was wrong, money buys crazy happiness.😂
"Make sure you read your fortune."
I remember us as kids doing something very similar. Brings back memories.
Well there goes my NY state deposit for my water bottle… 😅
That was a fitting fortune 🎉
Brother how I wish you were around if the shits starts going down! Thanks for sharing all of this amazing stuff with us.
I remember doing this when i was younger, pretty good and easy thing to get some free fish
Very cool
Amazing, get a bigger container and va’la bigger fish c:
Voi la.
I like that you poked a couple little holes in the bottle so the minnows can breath when you catch them.
Not gonna lie, minnow soup is pretty good if you know how to cook em up. Stew it for an hour or two, or make it in the pressure cooker, and the bones dissolve so it's like eating sardines/anchovies, throw in some spices and whatever veggies you got lying around, and you can feed yourself for nearly free cause you don't need a license or a limit to catch baitfish.

Best use of a fortune cookie I've ever seen. 🥠😊
You, sir, are a cod swimming amongst mere minnows.

Big brain move using the partially inverted bottle as a fish trap 🤯
And the fortune reads "Be prepared. Hard times ahead."
Money cant buy happiness. it can buy crazy happiness.
This device is definitely cool and ingenious!But I just can’t see myself gutting and cleaning those little fish-it would take hours just to make enough for a decent-size sandwich!
Reminds me of the traps primitive technology wove for prawns, but quick
Money can't buy happiness, but a fortune cookie might. Nice catch.

Damn I guess you're a mass murderer because of all those insects you accidentally step on
I don't always drink from a water bottle but when I do, I make sure to invert the bottle. That's a 10.
